Cooked slowly on the stovetop, onions become meltingly tender and exceptionally sweet. Here, they’re combined with sour cream and other ingredients to create an updated version of a classic dip. A touch of blue cheese adds just the right amount of assertive tang.

Ingredients
2 Tbs. unsalted butter
1 large yellow onion, finely diced
1 tsp. kosher salt
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 1/4 cups sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
2 oz. blue cheese
2 Tbs. milk, plus more as needed
Potato chips and crudités for serving
Directions
In a fry pan over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the onion and salt and cook, stirring often, until the onion is soft and caramelized, about 20 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat. Add the Worcestershire sauce and stir to scrape up the browned bits from the pan bottom. Transfer the onion to a small bowl and let cool to room temperature.
In a food processor, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, cayenne pepper, black pepper, half of the cheese and the 2 Tbs. milk until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add more milk 1 Tbs. at a time. Stir in the onion and the remaining cheese. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 week. Serve with potato chips and crudités for dipping. Makes about 2 cups.

Phenomenal dipAnother winner from Williams-Sonoma! I served this dip at a party and it was gone in less than five minutes. I topped it with some crumbled gorgonzola and diced chives. I'd suggest modifying the directions for the onions a little and cook them as you would for a French onion soup, i.e. put on a lid for the first few minutes of the saute, then remove the lid and reduce the heat to medium or medium-low. Continue the saute until the onions develop a deep golden brown color; this will take longer than 30 minutes, but it's so worth the wait.
